      • Provide input into development of ITS aspects of Surface Transportation Research and Technology Development Strategic Plan
      • Review, at least annually, areas of ITS research being considered for U.S. DOT funding to determine:
        • Whether activities are likely to advance either ITS state-of-the-practice or state-of-the-art
        • Whether ITS technologies are likely to be deployed, and if not, to determine the barriers to deployment
        • Appropriate roles for government and private sector in investing in research and technologies being considered

ITS Program Coordination & Governance
  • The ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) is responsible for developing, recommending, and implementing the strategic direction for ITS research, technology transfer, fiscal accountability, overall coordination, and serves as the USDOT voice for ITS.  The ITS JPO coordinates with the modal administrations on implementation, deployment, and support.


  • The principal modal partners in the ITS Program are:
    • Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
    • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
    • Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
    • Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
    • Maritime Administration (MARAD)
    • National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
    • Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA)
10
ITS Program Management & Governance
  • The ITS JPO coordinates ITS-related research through the multimodal ITS Strategic Planning Group (SPG) and ITS Management Council.
    • The SPG is the primary coordinating body for the ITS Program and is comprised of two members from each modal administration at the associate administrator level.
    • The ITS Management Council provides Senior level guidance in the ITS Program. Chaired by the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), it is comprised of the Assistant Secretary of Transportation for Policy, and administrators of the USDOT modes routinely involved in ITS Program activity:
      • OST
      • FHWA
      • FMCSA
      • FRA
      • FTA
      • MARAD
      • NHTSA
      • RITA
